Yesterday, we got the opportunity to go to Green Flash Brewing Co., drink a little bit, and get a little tour of the place, thanks to John and Chris. Needless to say, it was a fun learning experience. Green Flash was founded in 2002 by Mike and Lisa Hinkley, with a passion for craft brewing in San Diego. Today, it is one of the more popular breweries in San Diego County. Quite frankly, I'm surprised they aren't more recognized around the state and country. Their beers are have a unique style, and are delicious, a must try for any beer enthusiast.
Their menu includes the West Coast IPA, Hop Head Red, which is a red IPA, Double Black Stout Ale, Imperial IPA, Trippel Ale, the Le Freak Ale, which is a mix between the Trippel and American Imperial IPA styles, Saison Diego Ale, a Barleywine, Rayon Vert, which is a Belgium-style pale ale, Grand Cru Dark Ale, the Friendship Brew Ale, and our favorite the Palate Wrecker. Not only does Green Flash offer a variety of great beers, but the atmosphere is so much more friendly and welcoming than some breweries we have been to. Not to mention, they have the food situation on lock down there. Outside there are four food trucks, serving great food. It's a pretty cool place for the younger beer enthusiast.
We were lucky enough that Chris gave us a tour of the facilities. It was awesome to see the process he goes through as one of the brewers, to bring this deliciousness to our tables. We were able to get some pretty cool pictures of the place, so check them out.
